shared with parents through regular communications by phone, in writing and in

To ensure that appropriate patterns of development are achieved for each
individual child, a number of assessments are used which support the ongoing
recording of progress and each young person has an annual and six monthly
report which contributes to the review meetings.
Individual Learning Plans focus on the individual objectives in the key areas of
the young person's education. These are reviewed by the class team on a regular
basis and new objectives set. Parents are encouraged to discuss these targets.
Informal assessments are carried out frequently to link to short term planning
and recorded to show progress against objectives; overall achievements are
recorded for reporting and analysis against national targets.
Young people also have the opportunity to work towards and gain nationally
recognised ASDAN accreditation, following an individualised learning pathway,
with a larger emphasis on ASDAN qualifications for Post-16 students.
Assessment, record keeping, acknowledging progress and achievement are an
integral part of teaching and learning for all young people.
Constituent parts of the This Is Me plan - such as key persons in the individual's
Circle of Support, individual care and learning plans, Positive Behaviour Support
plans, protocols and risk assessments - are reviewed regularly by specialist,
experienced staff across our multi-disciplinary teams. This is to ensure a young
person's learning targets are appropriate and their achievements celebrated.
